Bushido Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Bushido



Allied prisoner
Murdered with beheading
Head removed with sword's slicing cut
Japanese officer honouring bushido code.

Live prisoners used for rifle targets
Men tied to poles for bayonet practice
Soldiers of the rising sun
Barbaric with rape and plunder.

Horrendous slaughter of Chinese people
No mercy from bushido
With no regard to military or civilian
Bloody tranny by Japanese.
